KUALA LUMPUR: The Public Accounts Committee (PAC) plans to conduct a site visit to Lumut to assess the progress of the Royal Malaysian Navy’s (RMN) littoral combat ship (LCS) construction project, following earlier proceedings related to the project. PAC chairman Datuk Mas Ermieyati Samsudin said the Jan 30 visit aims to allow the committee to see the project’s actual progress on the ground and to assess information and reports previously received. She said the PAC monitors the construction of the vessels from time to time, and that the visit will be the committee’s third to the site in Perak. Mas Ermieyati was met by the media after the opening ceremony of the Parliamentary Public Accounts Committee Conference with State Public Accounts Committees nationwide here yesterday. In February 2024, Bernama reported that the PAC had expressed concern over continued delays in the LCS project.
